my innermost sanctum

belated wishes

the wee islet and its denizen's celebrated its 41st independance day birthday [as they are still tryin to convince us - birthday!] yesterday.

is it just me or has the number of flags displayed outside homes been dwindling each passin year?

and the topic on racial harmony is brought up yet again for the nth time this year. not that i'm getting sick as a parrot. it's about time that national language [ie: malay] classes be reintroduced as a compulsory subject in schools. which was scrapped in the early-mid 70's.

otherwise, some younger ethnic chink's would carry on assumin they are the far more superior race than the rest. just because they happen to be the majority ethnic group over ere.

or that it's their birthright to brag about their being the only one's who are effectively "bilingual" [ie: speakin both broken mandarin and engRish in one breath - yeah, it's big deal to em]. amongst other's.
